Ribes aureum grow on
streambanks and in shaded woodland areas throughout much of California and
the US with the exception of the South and much of the eastern
coast. Ribes aureum is beautiful with its fragrant
yellow flowers from late Winter through early Spring, great
looking with the Golden Currant's ripening in the mid to late Spring and
beautiful with its Fall leaf coloring. Ribes aureum will drop its
leaves if stressed but is evergreen if given semi-regular
irrigation. The Golden Currant spreads by underground runners.
The gray foliage
stands out in the shade garden.
